Bobbin Head Marina

Summary: Located on a vertical rock face in the Bobbin Head Marina carpark is an engraving of a fish, mammal and goanna

This is one of those sites “hidden in plain view”: above the carpark on a long vertical rock face. Most prominent is a fish; within the outline of the fish and not easily visible is a set of three sword clubs or non-returning boomerangs.
